Pumpkin Risotto

If you are looking for a lighter main or side dish, this pumpkin risotto is perfect for your dinner party! A simpler version of the traditional risotto as I am only adding the broth in two stages. I skipped on the parmesan cheese to keep a bit a lighter but still adding textures and colors with some toppings. I chose kabocha squash also known as the Japanese pumpkin but any hard squash will work! Butternut squash is also a great option. If you do not drink alcohol, don’t be afraid as the alcohol will completely burn off during the cooking process. It adds a lot of flavors and I highly recommend adding it.
